REMARKS

The most common home for the clown fish is among the tentacles of the sea anemone. It's a curious quirk of nature that the tiny clown fish is able to live with out getting stung by the tentacles of the anemone.

A little known but fascinating fact of the Clown fish is its ability to switch sex. If the female (hierarchy) dies the predominant male will then morph into a female.

Clown fish form a very strong bond with their mates. They lay their eggs in large batches and both parents guard these eggs for a span of 3-5 days.

We receive an updated weather report directly from our crew living at Agincourt Reef at 7.30am each morning. Please call for further information, such as cloud cover, as often weather conditions will be different at the reef to the mainland.

Fish Feeding
Fish feeding at the reef is conducted by our crew twice each day. It is restricted to 1kg of fresh fish or approved pellets (to ensure that we do not affect their normal eating behaviour), and is only conducted by our trained snorkelling safety supervisors. Please refrain from feeding the fish your food scraps, as this could upset their diets.

See the reef from a different perspective

A 10 minute scenic flight will show you the opal blue reefs from a new perspective. Make sure you pre book through your tour desk.

Looking forward to spending the day with you
